Hi

I have Elizabeth Blanch b c 1801/1803 in my tree. She married Richard Powell in 1823 at Newland. Their daughter Maria married Henry Frowen.

I am having trouble locating Elizabeth's family- On the census her birthplace is listed as Yarmouth-

1861 - RG 9 1755 101 3 still at East Dean although birth as c1795, birthplace transcribed as Monmouth but image says Yarmouth.
Name Age
Elizabeth Powell 66
Richard Powell 66

1851 HO107 1959 224 21 at East Dean
Name Age
Elizabeth Powell 48 Yarmouth
George Powell 6
John Powell 14
Richard Powell 50
Richard Powell 25

1841 - HO107 20 18 15
Elizabeth is listed as born in county here.

I have tried to find a possible family for Elizabeth in Glous and Norfolk to no avail. Slowhands kindly gave me an entry from baptisms for Elizabeth Blanch b 1798 to John and Sarah at Newland, but couldn't be sure it is her. However I did find an Edward Blanch on the 1871 census, born Yarmouth c 1788(transcribed as Garmouth)but image does say Yarmouth, living in Newland - RG10 5298 58 3, and I was hopeful he may be a brother for my Elizabeth. BUT, to make matters even worse, on previous census Edward lists his birthplace as London-
1861 - RG9 3980 67 19 at Newland
1851 - HO107 2444 105 42 at Newland
1841 - HO107 20 20 15

Can anyone understand what is going on here? It's driving me batty!!
Does anyone else have the Blanch's in their tree?

Thanks
